Welcome to the The Anarchist Monastery, a weekly podcast and not so much a building, more a state of mind, one shared by craftsman and resident, Hugh Bernays and Daniel Roy Connelly, a visitor, teacher, theatre director and author.From the 2000 year old city of York, Hugh and Daniel interrogate each another to try to ascertain who we are and how we got here. We probe little known histories of this beautiful city in search of where 'here’ really is.*If you’re the kind of person who values the use of the imagination and likes to take the road less travelled in coming to an understanding of the world, The Anarchist Monastery is the podcast for you.Don’t be late – Join the siblinghood.
